Ok, so after owning my 2 Crosman Nitro Pistons for almost 600 shots each I have discovered that the scopes seem to slide in the rings after a very short period of time, especially my NPS TR77 which is really light and jumps around pretty hard.

Is there a particular quality one piece mount that has 4 bolts per scope clamp that would get the job done? Preferably one that has provisions to compensate for barrel droop.
 
BKL mounts and RWS mounts have provision for barrel droop. The Leapers/UTG mounts have a stop pin which will keep the mount in place as well as a tape which helps keep the scope from sliding, but aren't droop compensated. Here's a link to Pyramyd-

There's a sliding scope mount on page 3 that looks interesting-let's the scope slide with the recoil. Bad news is these mounts get close to the price of your gun maybe....

"OldCorps"What type of rings are you using now? One piece mount or 2 rings? Two bolts per cap or 4? Do you have a picatinny rail or do you mount to a dovetail? Do you have the scope scope pin in the hole for it on the receiver? How's the eye relief for you---do you have a good view through the scope without having to bend/stretch your neck to get a good view?

On my TR77 it has a scope stop pin on the barrel with 11mm dovetail style mounts. The current scope mounts are single bolt for the dovetail mount and 1 scope clamp screw per side (2 total) I do not like the stop pin location as it prevents me from adjusting the scope as I would like to get the best eye view.

On my Nitro Venom 22 it has a weaver rail mount, no stop pin (which allows for best eye view adjustment) single bolt at weaver rail and one bolt on each scope mount clamp (2 total)

The problem on the TR77 is the actual scope clamps need 4 screws per clamp, and I am sure if I removed the stop pin I will need a 3 or 4 bolt clamp for the dovetail as well.

I would also like to have a 4 bolt per scope clamp setup on my Nitro Venom, with a 3 or 4 bolt one piece mount as well.
